No, not in the way you mean it.

It's different. BSDDB (the Sleepycat-then-Oracle implementation) never
was part of Python; this hasn't changed. What *has* changed is that
the bsddb module (i.e. the Python wrapper) is now not part of Python
anymore, either, due to it being maintained separately. This is as if
Tkinter was removed from Python.
